If you think you could do better than the England Test side then try your luck with Audiogenic's revamped Graham Gooch cricket game. This new version of the only really good cricket simulation features a few new tweaks - but retains the graphic/game presentation of the original game.

You can either play a genuine cricket simulation or simply go for a quick-fire arcade cricket game - bowling and batting. There's also a neat two player option - take on your mates and beat them soundly!

There are nine different test sides featured in the game, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, a World XI, an All Star XI and England, of course. Each has updated teams. You can also input your own team if you want.

You can play a Test Match proper, get into limited over games, or simply practise batting and bowling.

There are Test Match Special TV style game statistics which appear after each over, or each innings and you can even call up an "action replay" of a spectacular catch or such like.

I found myself getting out much too quickly for my own liking - maybe this is like the real England test side though! The animation and new digitised speech - cries of Howzat! - are pretty good - although I'd like a better representation of the on-going score as you play rather than the small white numerals at the bottom left hand side of the screen.

It's nice to be able to put together the all-star teams with ace cricketers from the past and present.

The blurb that comes with the game says that you don't need to be into cricket to enjoy the computer version - but I reckon that the opposite is the case. To get the most out of this sports simulation you do need to know about the game - even if it's just to be able to identify the names of the players. Otherwise you might just get a bit bored with proceedings on the screen - bit like watching Test Match Special.

Graphics could be better - and Audiogenic should have taken the chance to add a few more sound effects to improve the presentation even further. How about an enhanced ST or Amiga version Mr. Audiogenic? That could be pretty special.

Graham Gooch's Cricket is still the best adaptation of the game for computer - so if you're a flannelled fool, or just a would-be Botham, check out this remixed version of the game.
